The "Tin Man" water tower is dismantled and removed on Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, by Iseler Demolition, Inc. The 131-foot tower, built in 1928, is seven feet shorter than the other two towers near the city's municipal complex at Broadway and Blue Bonnet Boulevard. The height difference caused it to be incompatible with the other tanks, sparking its removal.
